Find the slope and y-intercept:
y+=+-4x-9
You equation is already in the "slope-intercept" form: y+=+mx%2Bb so you can read the slope, m, and the y-intercept, b, directly from the equation.
The slope, m = -4
The y-intercept, b = -9
If you were to graph this linear equation, you would see the y-intercept.
